I wish I had more specifics but I was told by a reliable source there is a tenant seriously interested in this. Has anyone heard anything similar? Any guesses? You don’t need to share the possible tenant’s name if you have it, but do you? Your guess is as good as mine. But he’s probably sworn to se...

Agree with both of your points there :thumb: .. I’ve always thought it was smart for Omaha/Lincoln to “join forces” if you will.. Omaha/Lincoln, only 45 minutes apart, basically function as a 1.4 million CSA.. even though the “experts” in Washington DC with the US Census don’t see it that way.. but ...

Nice little piece in the San Francisco Chronicle... mostly rewording OWH article, but it’s press nonetheless. https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Omaha-airport-s-new-parking-garage-nearly-ready-14060943.php Nice! Good to see OMA getting a bit of pub from some prominent newspaper media outlets....

City Data is City Data. You have your opinion of it as do I.. What I am excited about is this collaborative Opt In plan. As the next months and several years go by, it’ll be interesting to see how it’s “measured” to see if the plan has made a difference and is successful. I can’t imagine it being a ...

BTW, I just came across this thread today. I haven't read it all, but many who relocated to Omaha painted Omaha in a pretty favorable light. http://www.city-data.com/forum/omaha/2744285-those-you-who-relocated-omaha.html I think the City Data forum is a good place to hear people's opinions, and lea...

I’ve eaten burgers at 7 of the 10 places in this poll. I can’t honestly say one stood out over the other (maybe Barrett’s).. The Bedda Chedda Burger at Granite City and the Hangover burger at Omaha Tap House are every bit as good as any burger I’ve eaten at those places.. The 3 I have yet to try- An...

I like this!! The thing I'm trying to understand is the four cities: Denver, Chicago, Sioux Falls, Detroit (I think I read). Why do they leave out Des Moines, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Topeka, Wichita, ect.? I don't get it. From the W-H piece- “The four initial metro areas for the campaign were cho...

I think this initiative- which is a collaborative effort by the Omaha and Lincoln Chamber of Commerce’s deserves its own thread.. I’ve always believed from a business and economic standpoint, Omaha/Lincoln should join forces and market the area as a growing combined area of nearly 1.4 million in pop...

I think in the end, what’s being communicated is that in this specific Eppley Airfield thread, our forum community most always scoops the W-H.. And 99% of the time, any OMA related news article released in the W-H, has likely already been covered here multiple times over.. Going through the history ...

These scooters are a fun way to get around and enjoy/see/visit things and places that you wouldn't have otherwise. Great for urban areas. I would agree with this. But the reality is, at least here in Omaha, most people don’t follow the rules. And the rules are pretty plain and simple to understand....

We were in the Old Market on Saturday morning and witnessed one woman (maybe age 25) riding a scooter up the sidewalk along Jackson Street. She stopped for the light and I went up to her and politely informed her that it was illegal to ride on the sidewalk. She actually removed the scooter into the...

I haven't been there in a while, but I used to really like the Meditteranean Bistro around 120th & Blondo (Franklin). I just ate at Mediterranean Bistro this past weekend. I have to get my fix every other month. The food there is fantastic.. As it relates to El Basha, to each their own. The las...

I’ll chime in here with a couple comments- Gold Mountain is about as authentic a Chinese/Vietnamese Asian restaurant as you’ll find in the metro. It’s one of only a handful of places that serve Dim Sum.. Someone mentioned El Basha for Mediterranean food. The last several times I’ve dined there, the ...

I'm just stating my position on it. Normal severe weather under normal circumstances doesnt cause a lot of damage. Most thunderstorms dont spawn tornadoes out of nowhere. Our forecasting of strong thunderstorms is better than it has ever been, to a point that we almost know there is or isn't good p...

That doesn’t surprise me in the least..

That’s not a bad little write up of Omaha in Forbes. Not much detail, but nice bit of pub for the city nonetheless...

Within the context of our weather related discussion, I’m neither a “thrillseeker” or a “storm chaser”. But I keep my eye on the sky and hope our area does not get hit with extreme weather.. Owning a car is one thing. But I believe if one actually owns property he lives on, maintains and is responsi...

Well, to each their own.. I’ll just say this, I’ve never known anyone.. ANYONE in my 57 years of life who is a property owner, tell me they hope for or “crave” severe weather. Personally, I’ve been a homeowner in Omaha for 20 years (specifically, it’ll be 20 years this November).. And severe weather...

I’ve noticed some tractors and lots of construction cones around the mall and in the parking lot nice to see the new owners of the mall are fixing up the parking lot that’s needed. I am also wondering how if Sears has been bought out already? For months they had a for sale sign on the former buildi...

Well, it looks like the Omaha metro has dodged another bullet as no severe storms hit overnight here. The latest KETV forecast shows we should be pretty much dry throughout the day today..and that both CWS games should be completed rain free.. As for chances of severe weather for the Omaha area movi...

I think Oakview should follow suit to what Gateway mall in Lincoln has which is called round 1 family entertainment center. The Sears maybe would be a good place/entrance for a food hall for Oakview. Maybe the lower level could be the entertainment center. Gateway Mall did that? Gosh, back in 2013-...

No problem. It’s great news for sure. Like I said now if Oakview can revamp the food court and fill the Sears with a family entertainment place then it would be a big drive to bring in even more traffic. Thoughts? I pretty much agree with you. The gloom and doom crowd won’t agree, but I think Rush ...

We are at slight risk for both tomorrow and Friday. First time in a long while we've been the focus area, though it doesnt appear anything crazy will happen. Bill Randby, this evening, pretty much threw a wet blanket over this possibly for Thursday and Friday.. I hope he’s right... Ciao..LiO...Peace
